i want to be alive
i want to feel alive
i want to kiss you
i want to be alive
i want to kiss you
my desire surrounds me
like a wild serenade my
desire surrounds me like
a house of smoke
my desire peppers my days
with oddities and such
shivering details that
i have to look away
i want to be alive
and to kiss you inside
of all the smoke and
odd wisdom a kiss
finally
gives
